What torque dip?

Coming from zzt231 Celica, it too has a dip right before lift, i never feel it. Driving such car all i have to do is rev it and maintain speed at powerband the whole time. I cannot be lazy and unaware of what gear I'm at. Makes driving the car aggressive and rewarding, to me at least.

I haven't got my GT86 yet, but that power dip wont be a real issue i think. Most of the time in city driving don't you all shift at 3000rpm? And when you floor it the dip quickly passed anyway. If not, a couple of downshift would land you back to the powerband. The powerband of this car is looks to be overall much better than my Celica for sure, but i will find out soon in December if Toyota keeps its promised.

Dan the dip in my Celica could not be felt. The dip in my BRZ is very apparent compared to the Celica (wider). The Celica torque curve is flat. The BRZ is all over the place.The area between 0-3500 RPM is seemingly as torque less as the Celica. Around 4k and above the BRZ is amazing. Just missing that 8,400 redline

Enjoy your car

Peace.

I agree,keep it in the "meat" of the powerband. This engine is best suited for an aggressive driving style,much like a 2 stroke dirtbike.

Sounds all too familiar with the way the celica was, as i always shift up at 4000rpm when driving my celica. I cant wait to once again having to drive a car like my pants full of red ants.

Yeah i miss belting the Celica to 8400rpm.
